I’ve put 90 hours into Elden Ring, absolutely loved it. My specs are 5600x with a 3070 and I was locked at 60fps the entire time at 1440p max settings, except for the occasional stutters that you touched on in the video.

[@rarva-760]

Good video. At the time of me writing this, I've played just under 48 hours of Elden Ring. I can confirm that later areas of the game can require more power to run correctly. From my friend and my experience, there seems to be something going on with GPU power and more GPU power allows you to at least brute force through the issues. We think that part of the problem is the trees, because they always seem to be moving like there is a strong wind, regardless of the weather condition. To give some context, I'm using a Ryzen 3700X with an RTX 3070, and running at 1440p at max settings, and have very few stutters (game will sometimes crash). My friend is running a similar CPU with an RTX 2060 and they lowered the settings (forget what they currently have it set to) at 1080p. My friend experiences more stutters and crashes than I do (by a fairly significant amount). We also have noticed a trend that performance seems to take a greater hit when playing with online enabled. We are not sure why that performance difference matters in offline vs online, but have found it to be more stable in the offline state.

[@ducksenpa1387]

Interesting, I too have a 2060 but I play at 1440p high and have not experienced a single crash, stutters sure and at one time a hard stutter where the game time had to speed up to catch up. Difference though is I’m using a 3900x. Have 50hrs into the game currently. This makes me scared for my friend who also has a 2060 but a 3600.

[@mrfinder18]

Ryzen 5 2600x, MSI 1660Ti, 32G DDR4. Running on high settings at 1080p with literally zero issues. Havent crashed once. Over 100 hrs so far with a few solid 14hr sessions, CPU and GPU temps never even reached 70C.

[@vikingsfan454]

i have the exact same CPU GPU combo as you (3070 3700x) and the stutters are straight up unplayable, I have tried everything.

[@mrdali67]

Kinda depends on what res you run it at. It plays just fine at 1080p with Ryzen 7 3800x and Nvidia 1660S. If I had a 1440p or 4K monitor I’d propably go for a higher end card. But for this was wasted money. I can’t stress it, It’s last time i buy a game ported from console. You really shouldn’t bother porting a game from a console to PC if you can’t do a proper port. And this is one of those games. Console and PC gamers is two totally different things. And they havent put a single thaught into how they could optimize the ui just somewhat for keyboard/mouse.

[@StrengthScholar0]

I couldn't disagree with you more I've heard of multiple people having more issues with the game with objectively stronger systems than mine when the worst I've experienced with a 6800m laptop was a few stutters. The quality of your system seems to have very little to do with the frequency of the stutters which seems to be the main issue for most people.

[@CptBrian]

3090 going over 90% utilization to hit 60 FPS. Yep, nothing strange going on there. But seriously, you tested this in a particular area/viewing angle that suffers from horrible GPU utilization bugs. Something in these areas is requiring like 5x more from the GPU than it should, but then most other places require significantly less to hold 60, and previous titles have very similar graphical fidelity while easily holding 60 on toasters. It shouldn't simply be about "rendering a bit more while looking this way" when it's suddenly spiking GPU utilization by 99999%. There's no way it's not bugged. I pray somebody somewhere finds a fix.

I must have seriously lucked out because I have literally none of the issues commonly reported with this game running on a 3070 and i9-10900k. Most of the issues sound like it's more how the game is loading assets on the fly (mainly the stuttering) so I'm assuming running this game off an nvme and 64GB of ram is why I haven't had these issues and would make soooo much sense if that was the reason why many people are running into that issue. To be fair, if that *IS* what the issue is, the devs shouldn't assume people are running high amounts of ram and on a fast storage device. But other than that, using rivatuner, I haven't seen more than ~80-85% utilization on my 3070 so a 3090 literally should have no issues - tis some weird as hell bugs xD

The Alder Lake IPC is much stronger than the i5-8400 and the i5-6500 is much WEAKER due to no HT and MHz speeds. Without a way to FORCE the game to ONLY use the e-core (you can't disable all p-cores) the easiest way to test this is just to disable the e-cores and select the correct amount of p-cores at the correct clock speeds. Jay would have to use ProcessLasso and configure it to only use the e-cores for the games and it STILL would not be accurate.

The game isnt capped at 60 fps due to being a console port, the reason its capped is because the a lot of stuff in the engine is tied to the frame rate and if it goes above 60 a few things will break.

It's typical FromSoftware Day 1 PC Port Release as well, you would have thought they would have it figured out by now.

@@Shyvorix its because of dx12 shader compilation. Every time it loads a new asset it stutters but then saves the shader to your ssd or hard drive. So it wont stutter again loading that asset.

You may be lucky, or you may just have lower standards than most, which isn't a slant at you. To be honest, without trying to sound elitest, even if the game ran at a max locked 60 fps in all areas, it still wouldn't be "smooth" to me after I've spent the better part of ~7 years playing every time at a locked 1440p 165hz. It's a noticeably worse experience in my eyes, and it's pretty unacceptable for a game in 2022 from a studio with this level of success. It's sadly just the way Japanese game studios operate. They have a smaller PC market, although Capcom has committed to boosting it's market share to 50% PC by the end of the year, so the next Monster Hunter game is sure to be an absolute hit on PC, and they just don't care about pushing low tier performance, aging engines, and dated fidelity to market. Just look at freaking Nintendo's latest offers. Pokemon Arceus, for how decent the gameplay is and how refreshing the entry into the series is, looks worse than a Wii game from circa 2007 and tanks to single digit fps when you're riding around on the water.

So the Tree Sentinel area is definitely the one with the most stutters but going further into the game, they don't happen quite as often and don't seem to last as long. Thinking it's because that area breaks off to 3 more of them which is going to be rough for a traditionally closed type of game.

Fps isn’t capped due to being a console port. 60fps is the sweet spot for the combat keyframing. More fps would be making this game almost impossible to learn timing. It’s a balance thing

no 1080/1440 120 fps? I don't care as much with resolution now because I'm very comfortable with the size of my 21"-24" monitors. Any increase in resolution is not likely to be as impactful as even just 90fps locked in terms of gaming performance, hence why I'm sticking to 1080 for a really long time.

You can play a modern game with a 6 year old card. If that doesn't perfectly sum up the state of the market right now. I remember the point of time in the 10 series lifespan when videos no longer tested it to 9 series cards. Now we've got 3000 series out and we're still checking performance from 2 generations ago.

Over 400 hours into this game with 1070 ftw, Ryzen 7 2700 and 32gig of ram on 144mhz msi 27 inch. Runs like a champ!
